REINFORCED CONCRETE Slide No. 1 ENCE 454 ©Assakkaf Introduction Concrete is weak in tension but strong in compression. Therefore, reinforcement is needed to resist the tensile stresses resulting from the applied loads. Additional reinforcement sometimes added to the compression zone to reduce long- term deflection. CHAPTER 4. REINFORCED CONCRETE Slide No. 2 ENCE 454 ©Assakkaf Types and Properties of Steel Reinforcement Steel reinforcement consists of – Bars – Wires – Welded wire fabric The most important properties of steel are: – Young’s Modulus (Modulus of Elasticity), E – Yield Strength, fy – Ultimate Strength, fu – Steel Grade Designation. – Size or Diameter of the bar or wire.
